Brink Overview

I have been interested in Brink a little and so I watched this overview video from gametrailers.  I am still deciding whether to purchase this day one of wait a week, but it will be a get for me. The wait may be to see how many bugs in the machine since its Bethesda.

FPS of the Year – 1993

While it is going to be fairly obvious who takes home the gold this year, this was the first year to actually have a lot of FPS titles, many of which are…well, at least passable. Okay, no, there wasn’t anything mind blowing this year, but it was still a decent year, all things considered. With that said, let’s hop right into it!

Portal’s Have No Gears

The illness will not leave, even using the power of chaotic evil lawyers. So I didn’t get much sleep last night. A by product of that was watching people go bat shit crazy over the unlocking of Portal 2 for PC. I totally understand that moment when you finally get a game you have been waiting for. As I talked about on the podcast the portal fever never took hold in me. Again it’s one of those moments as a gamer where what’s wrong with me. Granted a second later that feeling passes and I understand that all of us have games that don’t grab us the way they do other people. Don’t get me wrong I fully intend to play Portal 2 in the next few weeks. Maybe this time I can have some fucking cake.

TCR Comix: An Internal Struggle

I am a very conflicted young man. Right now, Canada is going through a Federal Election, there’s a certain part of my brain, a part that used to govern much more of my personality than it does now, keeps telling me “THERE IS AN ELECTION GOING ON RIGHT NOW, YOU SHOULD GIVE A SHIT, MAN!”  However, the other part of my brain, the part that has turned the tide in the War for my personality in the past year or so, counteracts that with “WHO CARES!  YOU WANNA WATCH THE STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS!!”

It was highly inconvenient of both the Government of Canada and the National Hockey League to schedule both things at the same time, I must say…

Gears Of Icewind Dale

There is nothing worse than waking up on a Monday and not feeling good. I suppose the day doesn’t really bloody matter, I was just hoping my illness would magically go away with the new week. Apparently this cold/flu didn’t get the damn memo. Maybe I can get a lawyer to either evict the thing or start paying rent, PatMan is supposed to be our illness guru around here not me.

The top 5 3DS Features You Probably didn’t Know About

Almost a month after it’s release, I’m pretty sure by now pretty much everyone has seen videos and pictures of the wonderful things the 3DS has to offer.  Everyone knows it can take 3D pictures, create Miis, and even work as a pedometer.  But what about the features that no one has really mentioned.  Well that’s why I’m here, let’s get started.

PatMan Picks : Weekend 3DS QR Codes !

Another relaxing Saturday is upon us and I hope that some of you will be playing a lot of video games today. There is a lot to do, the GOW3 beta is upon many of us and the 3DS is still fresh in some players hands.  Several days ago I posted the QR codes for both Glasenator and PatMans 3DS Miis. Its a cool little feature that allows 3DS users to scan any QR code off of any medium it can read it from, then like magic, out pops the 3D Mii which you can then save to your own plaza if you desire.  I have found a few other ones that I shall share with you below, I did not make these ones personally, I do however have some on My Wii that I may share at a later date. Because they are on my Wii, I have not bothered to turn it on since I finished with the great Donkey Kong Country Returns months and months ago. I have a lot of PatMan creations such as Hulk-a Mii, MJ-Mii Mini- Mii and others. I also have Jim Sterlings very own Mii ,which may be rare as he sold his Wii years ago.  However for now  enjoy some that I have found randomly on the internet. And really, who doesn’t want Robo Cop, The Undertaker, Diddy and others to come visit their 3DS? The codes are after the break.

Power Poll for the Week Ending: 4/12/11

Very late results this week mean a limited edition. But there are some things to be said. Many, actually. But few pictures. Only one wrestler gets an animated gif this week. And for good reason.

New Battlefield 3 Trailer Looks Impressive.

Its friday and the weekend is upon us, so why not take a moment and check out the latest trailer for Battlefield 3? I have to admit the game looks gorgeous, even if thats probably high end PC footage we are looking at.  The trailer teases some of DICE’s famous destructible environments ,which really set it apart form other shooters I have played lately where you can hide from a tanks cannon behind a thin fence. ( Hi Homefront) !  Anyways these trailers for Battlefield 3 are making me want the game more and more.  Going up against COD MW3 is probably a bad idea for the game, but hell I will probably be enjoying both when the time comes. Have a great start to your weekend!

Wonderpod Episode 59

This is not an ARG and we are not Valve. We are Wonderpod and we have a new episode for you ear holes. This week we did all the normal things you have come to expect. The end of the show went a little off the rails in a good way. One listener even gets a request to help PatMan out.
